BUG!James punched Benjamin in the chest, sending his old friend flying through the Otra River like a bird. Even with half his strength, James' punch would still feel so painful, considering his version two ali punch was a combined technique with the rising sun skill, causing fire-elemental wave vibrations.Inevitably, Benjamin, who received the attack, also suffered severe burns to reach more than fifty percent of his body. James was still human, so he not only held back half of his power when hitting Benjamin but also dampened half of the impact that his ability could cause. If he had not done that, his old friend would have been reduced to ashes by now, considering the gap in skill between the two of them was pretty significant."Do you still want to continue, Ben?" asked James while lounging near Benjamin.Benjamin did not answer James' question. Instead, he attacked again by controlling the river water. Instantly, James, who realized the attack, jumped to dodge. From a distance,
"Are you okay, James?" asked Tanya."As you can see, I'm fine," said James.Tanya slightly furrowed her brows. She, with extraordinary sensitivity, indeed realized that James was not okay. But on the other hand, Tanya did not want to go deeper into what James felt because she was afraid she would deepen James' wounds.After getting the sephiroth tree fragment, James and his friends immediately returned to the gunner guild headquarters to report the success of their mission and store the sephiroth tree fragment underground with other pieces.Arriving at the guild, they were immediately welcomed by Chairman Kenrich, who happened to be at the headquarters. They could not rest directly after a long and grueling battle to obtain the sephiroth tree fragment. That was because the chairman asked James and the others - who were part of the expedition team - to give a report directly. "Tell me what happened during your journey to get the sephiroth tree fragment. I want to hear your report in p
***It was only a few days after James got the sephiroth tree fragment, and he was already on the move again, looking for information about the god worshippers. The tragedy of his fight against Benjamin forces James to temporarily shift his focus to save the sister of the old friend he killed.I don't know where it came from, but he has a hunch that the worshipers of this god also have a continuity with the devil worshipers. The thought is undoubtedly uncertain and baseless, but one sure thing is that he does not have enough time because as soon as possible, he must save Benjamin's younger brother, who is somewhere.The two clues James had were his whereabouts and his physical features. A long time ago, when he was still the head of Ragnarok, James had met Benjamin's sister Charlotte several times. Her age difference with Benjamin was probably quite far, around twelve years. So if benjamin is now the same age as James, 27 years old, then the younger sister is a fifteen-year-old girl.
Arthur's sudden appearance startled James and Scarlet, who had a heated argument. I don't know in what way, but his appearance was strange because neither of the two upper-level aura users was aware of his arrival."Gosh, you scared me, Master," Scarlet said."Hahaha, I was trying something when I saw you two arguing. So I decided to come here and see what's going on," he said."Even if it was you, Arthur, I still can't allow you to come with me," James insisted."You!" Scarlet was angry again.But her words were cut short as Arthur immediately stopped her by silencing her mouth with his big hand."Let's put it this way, James, if the situation gets out of hand, I will use my new technique to get Scarlet away," said Arthur."New technique?" said James and Scarlet at the same time.Hahahaa, I love your expressions. Don't think only young people like you can keep improving. Let me show you my new technique so that you know that this old man is not just any senior man," said Arthur.He t
Upon arriving at the old bar, James ran into a man with short black hair and green eyes. The man was undoubtedly still remembered by James, and he was the same man who bumped into him when he was about to take the aura user license.Like before, they only crossed paths when James was entering the place while the man was heading out. Although James was curious about the man's identity, nothing happened, he preferred to keep quiet and tried not to look for any trouble inside La Olde Friar's bar. Entering the bar, Scarlet was mesmerized by the room's interior, which looked quite classy. It was so old and stylish, like time had stopped in the middle ages."Hello, James. It looks like you brought a new face with you?" said Alfred."They are my friends Alfred," James replied."Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. I am Alfred, the owner and manager of this establishment. Would you gentlemen like to order a drink?" said Alfred politely."Please give me a glass of vodka," Arthur said."I'm not su
James offered his right hand with a smile and forced Alfred to accept the handshake. After agreeing on the price that had been determined, James began to hear various information, along with documents related to the worshipers of the gods.From various information, it is known that the gods are now integrated with the Church. This can be seen from the documents shown by Charlie, in which he made various photos and reports on the activities of the worshipers in the Church. "The activities of the devotees are not centered on one Church, and they often move from place to place. But I confirmed that the center of the god-worshipping sect's activities is in an unnamed Church. It's right on the border between Enfield and Cufflet," Charlie said as he opened the map and showed the location.I don't know when that happened, but what is certain is that now the minions of the god worshippers are also part of the Church. So they can easily camouflage themselves by using the attributes of Christi
"Did I hear you right? What are we going to Enfield for?" Arthur continued to ask."I'll tell you the details later at the inn. Right now, we better hurry up before Scarlet gets out of control," said James, who saw Scarlet starting to pound on the table.James then carried Scarlet, who was already drunk, out of La Olde Friar and searched for a nearby inn so that she could sleep and rest in peace.The tiring day we were passed by like a leaf falling in the wind. Scarlet woke up with a heavy head due to the lingering effects of last night's hangover. "God, my head hurts," Scarlet said and looked around.He found himself in a bedroom, waking up wearing the same clothes he had worn the last time. Still, with dizziness in his head, he tried to get up from the bed and headed for the shower. But just as he lowered his legs from the bed, a knock on the door rang loudly in his eardrums, making his headache even worse."Aaargghhhh, who is it?" asked Scarlet."It's me, James. Can I come in?" Ja
Arriving in the Enfield area, James and the others immediately headed towards the border of Cufflet. Their destination was clearly the nameless church that was the center of the god worshippers' activities. Arriving at their destination, they were greeted by the shade of the trees. A small forest with tall, towering trees and quite lush appeared in front of them.Not wrong, the place was quite suitable for performing religious rituals that were a bit different. Far from the crowds and relatively hidden, the impression of quiet makes the place feel enough to make humans reluctant to touch it."So this is the place?" Arthur asked."From what Charlie said, this is the place," James said."Then where is that nameless church? I don't see any building here at all," Scarlet said."Don't bother looking. The church is in the middle of this small forest. We can go straight to the forest's heart through a path," said James.They immediately rushed to find the path in question, and apparently, it
